Review:

I have to say, this really is a cute story with a charming premise behind it. The idea is to get a bored kid to use her imagination. Naomi, her sister, and their mother are driving along, when Mom gives her child the good advice. After all, developing one's imagination is not only fun, but it is good for the mind and will help one throughout their life. I really liked the illustrations as well. They are vividly drawn with bright colors and engaging images. This story shows kids how they can use their own imaginations to have just as much fun as Naomi does in this tale. Kids are likely to want to read this story over and over. As a bonus, there are questions at the end of the book to get kids talking and to check their understanding. This book is a winner!
